Thanks for all the comments. For this picture, there's no studio work no nothing... i just happen to be at the right place and at the right time. Even i was standing so far the heat from the fire was great. Luckily i got my 7X zoom with me. Accually, this photo is a part of a factory explosion. This is the back part of the factory. More details of this can be found in www.pbase.com/ericcheah/factory_on_fire =) Thanks again for the comments & btw, i cant find "How Much Did Your Props Cost?" thread in the forums. Someone mind giving me the url? Thanks. - Eric Cheah

I saw this when it was posted in the forums and thought it was a great negative space photo. The fire creates such dramatic shapes in the sky, and the objects it's consuming are thrown into silhouette. Very powerful.

Great colours in the flames and they look wonderful against the black. But the shape of the barn or building itself isn't a striking enough silhouette. Maybe a different viewpoint on it might have given more interesting shapes, I don't know.

so...how far would you go to win? :) I like the shot but it would have been even better if the tree was directly between you and the fire.

Terrible for the family that lives there-or business. All the people okay? Nice photo, I don't even see a fire truck yet. Lucky capture. Good luck. Score 6 Justine

This is a great example of negative space... I would definitely like to see a tighter crop to remove some of the 'extra' negative space from the image. There is more than enough negaive space within the confines of the 'fire' area to send a great message with this photo... good work :) - jmsetzler

Good neg spc; I'm thinking that the fire *is* the subject here, and the composition, while decent, isn't giving me the impact I'd like to have from this shot. lhall-7

Very good use of negative space to enhance the subject.
